The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 688 What Do You Mean By That

On their way to see Sheryl, Sam kept on warning Chris, "I'm taking you to see Sheryl today because of your constant nagging. But, let me remind you that Sheryl has lost her memory and she couldn't remember anything. I understand you willpower to help your brother but please, don't do anything impulsive. You might just cause troubles. During my meeting upstairs, I can only allow you to see Sheryl from afar. You cannot show up in front of her. Do you understand?"

Giving Sam a reproachful look, Chris pouted and replied sadly, "How could you think of me like that? Am I really that unreliable in your eyes?"

"No, it's not because I think you are unreliable. It's only because I think you are the kind of person who couldn't be trusted enough," Sam answered without even throwing her a glance. Sam's focus was all on the road.

"You..." Chris was enraged by Sam's words. However, she couldn't find enough reasons to rebut because she was also aware that Sam was right. How many stupid things had she already done so far? Anyway, she only came here today to see Sheryl out of curiosity. In the past, she didn't get the chance to see Sheryl because of her baby. Now she wanted to personally see whether or not Sheryl was really Autumn.

In addition, Charles had already warned her not to do anything that might backfire on them. Of course, she would obey her brother.

She heaved a deep sigh and said, "Okay, okay, I know exactly what to do." Then she added, "You have told me these words over and over again. Don't you think you are getting verbose?"

"I told you these many times because I want you to remember them," Sam answered with a shrug. He didn't want to argue with Chris anymore.

When they arrived at Shining Company, Sam was about to remind Chris again. However, when he saw Chris' annoyed expression, he changed his mind. So, he just cast a glance at her and said, "Please behave accordingly. I have to go upstairs now."

"Go ahead," Chris urged Sam to leave. She was really very curious about Sheryl. She couldn't understand why Charles would mistaken Sheryl for Autumn despite knowing his wife very well.

"Cheney, where are the models from BM Corporation?" Chris asked the staff she first saw. Since she was Charles' sister, everyone in the company knew her so she could just talk to anyone she wished to talk

to.

"Mrs. Lin, the models are currently rehearsing on the third floor. Mr. Lu has arranged a room there for them. Would you like me to take you there?" Cheney answered politely.

"Don't bother, I'll find it myself," Chris refused. She actually had other plans before going to the models' room. Chris went out to look for a fruit shop. She bought some sliced fruits and glasses of fruit juice enough for the models before she went back to the building.

Models are very particular with what they eat because they have to maintain their figures, so Chris decided to just buy fruits for them.

When she arrived at the room Cheney had told her, she sneakily looked for Sheryl. Meanwhile, Sheryl was also coming out from the back stage. She was wearing a pair of high heels. When Chris saw Sheryl, her mouth opened wide in awe. She then realized that Charles did not mistaken Sheryl for his wife. Sheryl was really Autumn.

She looked at Sheryl in utter disbelief while keeping on cursing her own stupidity.

"Who are you? Why are you standing here?" Gerry asked with an arched brow. He got irritated when he saw Chris stealthily looking for something.

"Oh, hi!" Chris greeted him with a smile. "My name is Chris Lu. I am Charles' younger sister. My brother asked me to bring some fruits and juice for you guys," she explained. Chris immediately went back to her senses when she heard Gerry's voice. Gerry felt delighted when he heard what Chris just said. He then clapped his hands to signal the models to have a break. When the models found out that she was Charles' younger sister, they all came around her to butter her up.

Everyone knew that Charles only had his eyes on Sheryl, but a golden bachelor like him was still the target of so many models.

The models thought that anyone who could get Chris' favor would have the biggest chance in life.

Modeling is a profession only for young people. But whoever could stay young forever? Naturally, these models were dying to marry a golden bachelor so they could have a better future ahead of them. Only Sue and Sheryl didn't join the group. Sue was already in love with Anthony so she was not interested in Charles. Sheryl, on the other hand, was not the kind of person to butter someone up. Sheryl just stayed at one corner drinking her water while the others including Kitty were flattering Chris.

"Mrs. Lin, your skin is so flawless. Can you share with me your secrets on how you keep your skin in such an excellent condition?"

"Mrs. Lin, I heard that you have just given birth. But how are you able to get back to your best shape in such a short time? You are so excellent!"

"Thank you, thank you all." Chris had no other choice but to express her gratitude politely for their flattery. But Chris' eyes were fixed on Sheryl across them. Sheryl seemed to feel Chris' gaze so she looked at her and nodded politely.

Chris then again confirmed inside her that Sheryl was undoubtedly Autumn, her sister-in-law.

"Actually I don't have any secrets in keeping my skin healthy. Everything is natural," Chris replied politely. Then she excused herself from everyone, "I'm so sorry ladies, but I have to talk to Sheryl first. So, please excuse me for a while."

When they heard Chris mentioning Sheryl's name, the models exchanged glances. A contemptuous look suddenly appeared on their faces. Kitty came closer to Chris and whispered viciously,"Mrs Lin, I think it's really time that you talk to her."

"What do you mean by that?" Chris couldn't help but crease her brows. She couldn't understand what Kitty was trying to imply.

"Don't you know?" Kitty excitedly ask. She thought that she got the perfect timing to discredit Sheryl in front of Chris. "Sheryl seduced your brother, Mr. Lu," she started. "Mr. Lu takes her out for lunch and drives her home every day. We even saw them come to work together this morning," she added. Chris could feel that Kitty was quite envious of Sheryl. She couldn't help but sneer inside.

While listening to Kitty, Chris was already applauding Charles deep inside her. No wonder he didn't need help anymore. He had already started to approach Sheryl in his own way. "Is that a problem?" Chris asked in an arched brow.

"Of course, it is," Kitty insisted. Kitty felt strange because she didn't expect Chris' reaction. She thought that Chris would immediately scold Sheryl after knowing the truth. However, she didn't want to give up. She continued to denigrate Sheryl,"Maybe you don't know that Sheryl already has a boyfriend. Aside from that, she is also a single mother. She has a 3-year old daughter. Everybody knows about her daughter but no one knows who the father is."

Kitty felt more excited to spoke ill of Sheryl,"Despite of having a boyfriend, Sheryl unashamedly seduced Mr. Lu. And Mr. Lu seems to be charmed by her to the highest level that he wouldn't pay attention to any other woman anymore. Mrs. Lin, you are his sister. You must help him wake up and realize the truth."

Kitty gave a sarcastic laugh and continued, "If Mr. Lu really gets together with her, he also has to accept and support her illegitimate daughter. It may not be good for..."

"Who are you calling the illegitimate daughter?" Chris suddenly interrupted Kitty. Her expression hardened when she heard Kitty calling Sheryl's daughter illegitimate. But Kitty didn't pay much attention to Chris reaction.

Kitty looked up at Chris. "I..." she hesitated to continue when she saw Chris' dimmed expression. She didn't know why Chris suddenly looked so upset. Did she say something wrong? She felt a little panicked as she tried to explain,"Mrs. Lin, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just concerned about your brother." Kitty started to feel nervous.

"I know," Chris replied shortly. She frowned and remained silent for a moment.

'Kitty must have some conflicts with Sheryl before. Otherwise, she would not keep on defaming her in front of me. I didn't know that Sheryl has suffered this much. But now that I know, I must get even with Kitty for her, she thought.

"Mrs Lin, I am just telling you all these for the sake of Mr. Lu. I hope you won't get me wrong." Kitty kept talking without realizing Chris' enraged expression,"Such a respected man like Mr. Lu should find a woman of his match. He should marry a woman with high morals and excellent background. Not someone like Sheryl who is notoriously..."

Before Kitty could finish her words, a slap landed on her face. Then Chris indignantly asked, "Who did you just call notorious?"
